Only Love Can Break Your Heart by Katherine Webber
Publisher Walker books
The end of love. The beginning of you.
Reiko loves the endless sky and electric colours of the Californian desert. It is a refuge from an increasingly claustrophobic life of family pressures and her own secrets.
Then she meets Seth, a boy who shares a love of the desert and her yearning for a different kind of life. But Reiko and Seth both want something the other can’t give them.
As summer ends, things begin to fall apart. But sometimes a broken heart is all you need to set you free.

MY REVIEW

Beautifully written. I treasured every minute. Reiko talks to her dead sister. The confident Reiko is popular at school. When Reiko meets unpopular Seth, who no one talks to at school, they both build a relationship as friends, which soon becomes to dating.  Seth’s ego and personality changes as he becomes part of Reiko’s close circle of friends. This book is for 14 year olds plus, but I recommend this book to adults too.
